Hon’ble Prime Minister of India

Sir,
Sub: - Inclusion
of Gramin Dak Sevaks of Department of Posts under the purview of the proposed
Seventh Pay Commission – regarding.
With due respect and regards, we
put forth the following for your kind consideration and favourable decision
please.
In the Department of Posts, the
50% of the total work force are called as Gramin Dak Sevaks and they are
continuously being discriminated by separate committees formed for the
consideration of their wages and service conditions.
The Supreme Court of India
declared that these Gramin Dak Sevaks are holder of civil posts and it is a
well settled law. Despite the judgment, the same civil servant status has not
been accorded yet to them except a part in case of disciplinary proceedings.
The Fourth Central Pay Commission
categorically emphasized that, the GDS issues shall be brought under the purview
of Pay Commissions. But still separate committees are constituted.
The last committee constituted at
the time of Sixth Central Pay Commission caused clear injustice to these
employees and they are deprived all the service benefits at par with civil servants
even though the law of the land declared and settled them as the holder of the
civil posts.
Under these circumstances, we most
humbly request the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to consider our request and
cause orders to include the GDS of the Department of Posts under the terms of
reference of the Seventh Central Pay Commission.
With profound
regards,
Yours sincerely,
(M. Krishnan) (D. Theagarajan)
